Recently, Trilegangers, a Ukrainian website focusing on human 3D models, suffered an unprecedented traffic attack, causing its server to crash. This website is dedicated to providing 3D artists and game developers with massive human body 3D model data. However, it is in trouble due to frequent crawling by OpenAI's crawler GPTBot.
According to Trilegangers staff, although the website's usage agreement clearly prohibits unauthorized crawling and use, the robots.txt file was not properly set up to prevent crawler access, which ultimately led to the server being overloaded. According to server logs, OpenAI's GPTBot crawler initiated tens of thousands of requests through more than 600 different IP addresses, resulting in the website not functioning properly, similar to a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack.
OpenAI mentioned in its crawler description that if the website does not want GPTBot to crawl content, it needs to be set in the robots.txt file. However, the Trilegangers failed to realize this, leading to their current predicament. Although a robots.txt file is not a legal requirement, if the website has stated that unauthorized use is prohibited, GPTBot's crawling behavior may still violate the relevant regulations.
In addition, due to the use of Amazon AWS servers, Trilegangers' consumption of bandwidth and traffic has also increased sharply, bringing additional cost pressure to it. In response to this emergency, Trilegangers has taken measures to set up the correct robots.txt file and blocked access to a variety of crawlers including GPTBot through Cloudflare. This approach is expected to effectively ease the load on the server and protect the website. of normal operation.
This incident has drawn attention to the behavior of web crawlers. Especially in the context of the increasing development of AI technology, how to balance technology application and copyright protection has become a topic worth pondering.
AI courses are suitable for people who are interested in artificial intelligence technology, including but not limited to students, engineers, data scientists, developers, and professionals in AI technology.
The course content ranges from basic to advanced. Beginners can choose basic courses and gradually go into more complex algorithms and applications.
Learning AI requires a certain mathematical foundation (such as linear algebra, probability theory, calculus, etc.), as well as programming knowledge (Python is the most commonly used programming language).
You will learn the core concepts and technologies in the fields of natural language processing, computer vision, data analysis, and master the use of AI tools and frameworks for practical development.
You can work as a data scientist, machine learning engineer, AI researcher, or apply AI technology to innovate in all walks of life.
